Graylog paid vs. Open — which one do I need? 
Graylog Open is a powerful, self-managed solution. And for many users, that's all they need! 
But... as your environment grows, DIY workarounds and manual processes could slow you down. It's hard to know when it's time to upgrade. So, we made a handy list to help you decide.
If you've been considering upgrading but aren't sure if it's the right time, take a look at this information and see if it makes sense for you. 
Compare different features, see features in action, and more.

You might know #Graylog as a #SIEM, but did you know that it can also be a fun tool for creative, low-cost experiments in a home lab? 
Jeff Darrington recently created a DIY temperature and humidity monitor using an ESP-WROOM-32 development board and a DHT22 sensor. 
Follow along as Jeff creates a lightweight #API endpoint on the ESP32, polls it regularly using Graylog’s HTTP API input, and visualizes the results in a live dashboard.

Which #logging system do you prefer for managing logs in #Kubernetes?
Graylog is committed to ensuring that your observability infrastructure can handle even the most extreme network disruptions—planned or otherwise. Thus—as part of our ongoing effort to support advanced, redundant communication protocols for disaster recovery and geographically isolated nodes—we're announcing full support for RFC1149 – IP over Avian Carriers (IPoAC) in Graylog 6.1 and above!
This capability adds another layer of physical transport redundancy, designed for environments where traditional networking fails or simply isn’t feasible. 
In a world of unreliable fiber, cloud outages, and suspiciously scheduled maintenance windows... you deserve a trustworthy backup. #Graylog’s RFC1149 support isn’t just a feature—it’s a lifestyle.

VoIP Call Data Records (CDRs) are still one of the most reliable tools for keeping #VoIP systems running smoothly. 
They provide a granular view of call quality, latency, jitter, and packet loss — all critical factors that directly impact voice performance. 
CDRs also offer historical insights that help to pinpoint recurring problems, track trends, and ensure networks are properly provisioned. 
This article digs into the 3CX VoIP PBX and the call data records that are sent to #Graylog. Read on to learn about configuring 3CX for CDR logging.
